A brief review of our latest encounter:
Chris has become the new Marcus by losing to not one but two girls in the same season! But, in his defence, at least these players were over the age of 12! And also they
were once World ranked very highly. However they weren't that good - I'd have beaten them! ;-)
I'm feeling rather cocky at present seeing as I've extended my winning run to 5 in a row. I think I may have mentioned it once or twice too! Cue defeat next week then...
Adrian tried a variety of new tactics in his match this week including playing a drop shot (or was it a lob?) and feigning injury a la Bob Stone! Neither of them worked against a tricky opponent however, although you can never question that man's determination.
I never saw any of Colin's match, however at a guess I'd say he probably started well but then got the hump when things didn't go his way and threw a couple of toys out the pram! ;-) (That should add a bit of spice to our league game on Sunday!)
Captain Dave was as reliable as ever. Despite crying out "well that was on a Golden Plate" after burying an easy 'winner' in the tin, he still managed a solid win. However, the signs of ageing continue to surface. This time it was his hearing as he constantly asked Colin to repeat the score during the match and then in the bar afterwards a drinks order of "one lager top and half a lager" came back as a J2O with lemonade and a pint of Fosters!
Results:
Chris lost to Becky McRee 2-9 9-10 6-9
Paul beat Dave McKenna 9-6 10-9 9-0
Adrian lost to Phil Martin 9-10 1-9 9-3 7-9
Colin lost to Marc Thornley 6-9 3-9 7-9
Dave beat Nick Healy 9-1 4-9 9-3 9-8
Clements lost to Woodford Wells 2-3 (7-15)
And so Dave's prematch rallying call of turning up on time and securing back to back wins failed on both counts. But still an enjoyable night despite having to suffer another 3-2 defeat.
Crunch match next week fella's. Let's get it on!
